OOxBase is a dBase database engine using the SOM development tool marketed by
IBM. The DLL was built using SOM Version 3.00 Beta. At this time, the SOM
Version 3.00 Beta is available free from IBM from their file server
http://www.software.ibm.com/clubopendoc/som30tk.html
OOxBase provides classes and methods to maintain dBase III and IV files.
Currently the file formats that can be processed by OOxBase are DBF, DBT, NDX
and MDX. There is some file incompatibility with NDX and MDX files and those
maintained by Borland's dBase product.
The beta code expires on June 30, 1997.
